Thank you so much Ibrahiim for the kind words!!! I very much enjoy what I do, and am glad if my efforts are helpful. I have always learned a lot from everyone here as well so it is a good exchange

Claus glad the information shared here is helpful.
Actually your question on the thickness of European blades is well placed, however as to the dimensions, it is difficult to determine nationality or region with blades as far as I have known. This is usually compounded by the often constant remounting, refurbishing and sometimes entire reprofiling in their working lives.

Hello again,

finally i had the opportunity to examine the Tulwar and take new Pictures.
At the bottom of the Scabbard is a pattern.
Looks like the handle was painted black. Everywhere on the handle rests of colour are finding.
The Blade is of a nice Quality. Strong and flexible.
Blade lenght 73cm
Bladethickness tapers from 8mm to 5mm
Blade tip is double edged on the last 23cm
Blade wide is 3,5cm at the ricasso and 2,8/2,5 cm at the edge

The Ricasso is stamped on both sides. Maybe this detail is overlooked till now, so i took some pictures of this detail.
Perhaps this detail brings something new about the tulwar.

Best regards
Claus
